//------------------------------// // Ponybots vs Ponycons Part 2 // Story: Transformers Equestria Girls // by RedFire //------------------------------// Tapping quickly as a flash, Soundwave tried to create a way to bring his master and his comrades back to Earth. It has been a day since Megatron and his team were sucked into the Space Bridge along with Optimus Prime and his troops. Many Decepticons believed that their leader was dead, letting his throne empty, but Soundwave knew that nothing, not even Optimus Prime, couldn't stop the mighty Emperor of Destruction. With many Vehicons, Seekers and Insecticons behind him, the communication officer connected two robotic tentacles with another computer, downloading more information to his database. "This is a waste of time!" growled a Vehicon "Megatron was sucked to the other side of the galaxy and probably he was disintegrated by a black hole with the rest of his team.” “So no leader, heh?” chuckled a Seeker “I could get the use of ruling the entire Universe and leading an entire army. Especially without Optimus Prime and his Autobots to bother me." “You?!” said a silver Vehicon “Unlike you, I’m the perfect Con to keep these glitches in the line. After all, Megatron didn’t made me and others your captain for any reason.” “If anybot is going to lead the Decepticons is going to be me and my brothers.” said an Insecticon as he grabbed the Vehicon’s shoulder “The Insecticons are the most savage and merciless warriors in Megatron’s army. We have the right to take his throne, not you.” The Vehicon slapped away the Insecticon’s hand “Don’t tried to make me laugh, you son of a glitch!” he growled as he tapped in the bug’s chest “I rather kiss Unicron’s tailpipe than serve a bunch of stupid scavengers.” “WHAT DID YOU SAID?!?!” shouted the Insecticon. With those words, every Insecticon and Decepticon in the bridge took their positions, waiting that anybot from each side started the fight first. Suddenly, a lightning stroke between both groups, making them to jump backwards. Turning their heads, the Decepticons saw none other than Soundwave with his steamy stinger aiming to the troops. Changing his weapon back into his hand, Soundwave walked towards the soldiers until he was face-to-face with them. The creepy Decepticon spoke, but, to everybot surprise, it wasn't the same electronic voice that he was used to use, but a old and evil one that created chills through the Decepticons circuits. In fact, Soundwave wasn't even talking, but their mighty leader Megatron, who they believe he's offline, was. "I am grateful for your cooperation,” said Soundwave “but there’s one thing I must remind you: I am the one who gives the orders.” Soundwave stared to the Insecticon, looking straight into his optics with his 'face'. The Insecticon gulped as well the Vehicon next to him. Facing Megatron's loyal soldier was something that any Decepticon would never wanted to do. For some reason, the robotic bug could understand Soundwave's staring as 'Did I make myself clear?' expression. "On second though," chuckled the Insecticon “I think you’re the best Decepticon to be our leader, Soundwave.” “Y-Yeah!” said the Vehicon “It’s a good idea, right?” The entire crew murmured and nodded in agreed with that decision, although they were, in fact, against the idea. Many Decepticons dreamed in leading their mighty empire through the known Universe, but, like the Autobots with the last Prime, there are a lot of Cons who sweared with their sparks to never betrayed their Master. In fact, the ones who decided to run away from Megatron were hunted down, and terminated, by Tarn and his DJD, making more troops to become more loyal to the supreme leader of their faction. With the crew under control, Soundwave gave one last glare to them before turning around and walking towards the bridge’s computer, where he continued to work in a plan to save Megatron and Team Nemesis, so that Earth could belong to the one and truly Emperor of Destruction. “This time, there is no Twilight Sparkle or even your pathetic friends to save you! Farewell, Optimus Prime!” laughed Megatron as he grabbed his sword with both hooves. Optimus Prime coughed more blood as his breath slipped away from his lungs. His vision started to fade away along side his strength, but, unfortunately, his hearing continued to persist his dying body, allowing him to hear Megatron, and the Decepticons, laugh and his Autobots’ cries of despair for him. Optimus began to think for a last time. So this is how it ends? Defeated in another Universe along side of his loyal Autobots? Time seemed to slow down to Prime as Megatron lowered his sword towards his back. That day was surely the end of the Primes and he still has much to do. Of course he wasn’t afraid to join with the Allspark where all his long gone friends were waiting for him, but he felt that he wasn’t ready yet. Twilight...Forgive me…, he thought before closing his eyes. Suddenly, a light brown pony wearing a red and blue suit with a brown mane and tail flew towards Megatron, striking his back with his rear hooves, sending him towards the ground as he landed on top of him. Using what was left of his strength, Optimus forced his head to turn and see his savior, which was none other than Peter Pony Parker, his new and first friend in Equestria. "P-Peter?" said Optimus. "What?" chuckled Peter "Did you think I was going to sit and watch this place being destroyed?" The Autobots cheered while the Decepticons' jaws almost touched the ground. Taking this moment, Bumblebee stroke the back of his head in Barricade's snout, making the black pony to take two steps backwards as he rubbed his wound, and then kicked his belly. Ratchet grabbed Knockout's shoulders and threw him into the ground, making him to growl in pain. Grabbing Arcee's shoulders, Starscream flew away from the battleground. All hope was restored in few seconds. Before Peter could react, a purple hand, emerging from the Champion of Kaon City's horn, grabbed his neck and pulled him up from Megatron's back, allowing the grey Alicorn to stood up and spit some earth from his mouth. A glare from the leader of the Decepticons was gave to Peter, sending chills through his spine. "Such heroic nonsense." growled Megatron. Pulling his arm back, Megatron delivered an direct punch in Peter's belly, throwing him next to Optimus. Peter growled in pain as the coughed few blood. He never felt a punch that powerful that could took him down so easily. Megatron slowly walked towards the two heroes as he used his horn to invoke his sword once more. He could simply slice in half both Optimus and his new friend, but first he would get rid off the one who called himself 'Peter' and then the last Prime would be next. "You s-shouldn't have come, P-Peter…" said Optimus "Megatron is my fault and...and I should...be the o-one to pay for that mistake….Everybot...must not suffer the same...f-fate…" "Look, Optimus," said Peter as he slowly looked to Prime "I'm your friend and always shall be, which means that your problem are my problem as well." Optimus smiled after hearing this words. The organics were so...unique. Like he said before, the humans, in this case ponies, were better than his kind. Megatron's hoof crushed the earth in front of both ponies, catching their attention. Pressing the tip of his sword against Peter's neck, Megatron smiled like a maniac before raising up his sword, but before he could react , a white laser beam struck Megatron's belly, throwing him against a kart. After removing the pieces of wood away from his body, Megatron saw three Alicorns landed in front of the Autobot leader and Peter Parker, who recognized the three Princesses that ruled Equestria. The leader of the Decepticons looked to the new opponents. They were very similar to him, but he could tell, and feel, that they could easily control their powers unlike him. For once, he needed to make a decision that he never have made before. "Decepticons, retreat!" he shouted. Hearing those words, the Decepticons pushed away the Autobots and runned away from the Alicorn Princesses. During their running, Knockout and Barricade grabbed Snow Cat's tail and pulled him all the way out of Ponyville. Seeing that his enemy runned away from the city, Optimus easily gave up to his body's will and fainted, releasing a small sigh before closing his eyes. A pink energy wrapped Prime's body, levitating him from the red bloody ground and healing the wound in his chest at the same time. Walking slowly towards Optimus, Cadence investigated better the heroic warrior that saved Twilight's city. The wound was very deep and it has almost reached the heart, but this pony was lucky to have a strong body and to survive to such horrible attack. When Celestia and Luna walked next the Princess of Love, Peter gasped before bowing before them, ignoring the pain in his belly. The Autobots, including Hound, who was completely wet, slowly approaches to their wounded leader, waiting to know the answer of their new saviors. "How is he, Princess Cadence?" asked Celestia. "He took a real damage in the chest," she said while looking to Optimus' wound "but he will survive with a good medic." "Maybe I can help with that." said Ratchet "After all, I'm his medical officer." "You certainly are his medic, Doctor Ratchet." said Luna. "Don't call me 'Doctor', lady." said Ratchet before he realised something "Wait...How do you know me?" "We all know you well, my friend." said Celestia with a warm smile "Just like Hound, Bumblebee and your leader, Optimus Prime." she said while rubbing Optimus' mane "You're the Autobots, the mighty heroes from Cybertron who sworn to protect Earth from your eternal enemies, the Decepticons, right?" "Whoa!" said Bumblebee "Are we really that good to be famous in another Universe?" "We should get going." said Cadence "Your friend need to see a doctor right now." "Hey! Where's Arcee?" asked Hound. "I-I'm here…" said a voice behind him. Turning their heads around, the Autobots gasped, as well the Princess, when they saw an horrible picture right in front of them: a blue female pony with a pink mane covered with blood in her face walking towards them. The Autobots immediately runned towards Arcee with very worried faces. She was completely shaken like when she has lost her partner, Hot Shot. "What happened, Arcee?" asked Hound "Are you okay?" "I...I-I killed him…" she said "Starscream is...dead…" Few minutes ago… Starscream pinned Arcee’s head against the bridge’s ground , punching her in the face over and over, breaking the ground beneath her every time she received a punch. Grabbing her by her mane, the grey Pegasus spun the Autobot in the air before throwing her to the ground once more. Slowly rubbing her head, Arcee tried to stood up, but, before she could react, Starscream grabbed her neck and began to clench it every single second, cutting the air from her lungs. Gasping for oxygen, Arcee began to kick the Decepticon’s belly, but he ignored the pain and continued to clench her neck. Arcee’s eyes began to roll back as she started to faint for the lack of the air. Starscream laughed maniacally as he clenched more her neck, almost breaking it. “I hope you’re ready to join with the Allspark, Autobot,” he said “because you’re going right into with your stupid friends.” “D-Don’t...you dare...to t-touch...them!” said Arcee. Before she could realize, a blue beam was fired from her horn that stroke Starscream's chest and flew out of his back, painting the ground behind him with his blood. Starscream gasped as he slowly looked down to see a huge hole in his chest with blood covering Arcee's face with every drop. His eyes widened as his oxygen began to deplete faster just like his life force slipped away from his hooves. Standing up, the second-in-command stumbled towards the edge of the wrecked bridge before falling in the ground with both legs. He couldn't believe it, but he was done. The great Starscream was defeated by a single Autobot. Releasing his last breath, Starscream died with both eyes open and soon his body fell into the river, where soon a small pool of blood appeared as the fallen Decepticon began to float all the way down through the flow until he couldn't been seen anymore. After seeing this scene, Arcee's mind began to process about what she saw: was Starscream really offline? If it was it, why she wasn't happy? "No, no, no, no!" growled Wheeljack "It's not right! Why the scrap this doesn't work?!? Why?!?" The white Wrecker slammed his desk and threw away many pieces of his work to the ground, missing the small Spike by few feets, who ran away to Twilight's knees. It has been a day since Megatron's Space Bridge sucked Team Nemesis and Team Prime. After that horrible accident, Wheeljack has been working in a way to bring his brothers back and trying to comfort the Rainbooms, especially Fluttershy, at the same time. Unfortunately, all his work was leading to a dead end and all his hope was starting to fade away, but the worst is that Soundwave could lead an Decepticon attack and he couldn't be ready for that kind of challenge. "Careful, Wheeljack!" growled Spike "You almost hurted me." "Sorry, kid." sighed Wheeljack "I'm just...busy with all this stuff. Saving the world alone is not my kind of fun and I need the others here." “Darling, you watched what happened to them.” said Rarity “That horrible thing sucked them all into somewhere else far away from Earth.” “She’s right, partner.” said Applejack “To be honest, we don’t know if they are alive.” “Girls, do you know what’s the second rule of the Autobots?” asked Wheeljack. “Do we look like Autobots to you?” asked Rainbow Dash. “Point taken.” he said “The second rule of the Autobots is that we must never lose trust or hope in our most darkest hour. Do you know who said that?” “Optimus…” murmured Twilight while rubbing Spike’s head. “Yup!” said Wheeljack while turning his attention to his desk “No matter how hard things are, Optimus never lost hope and neither shall I lost hope to bring them back.” The Rainbooms sighed sadly as Wheeljack stared to a piece of Dark Energon that he took from the Decepticon machine. Sunset rested her head against a wall as she looked to Twilight Sparkle. She could understand her pain. After all, Optimus Prime was her guardian too, but to Twilight was more than that. Suddenly, Sunset's bag began to glow, catching her attention. Opening her bag, Sunset picked up her old book from Equestria and opened it, starting to read the new message. As she read every word in the book, a smile grew bigger and bigger than before. "Twilight!" she shouted "Princess Celestia has wrote us a message!" "What?!" asked Twilight as she grabbed the book "But why?" Twilight started to read the page and, like Sunset Shimmer, a smile grew in her face. Suddenly, without any warning, the purple girl unleashed a happy scream as she hugged Sunset, scaring the other girls, Spike and even Wheeljack, who covered his audio receptors with his hands. "Why in the name of Primus did you use your sonic weapon?!" growled the Autobot "Actually, since when did you have a sonic weapon?" "Jackie, Optimus and the others are alive and they are in Equestria." said Twilight “Bad news is that Optimus is hurt and the Decepticons are alive too.” "Equestria?" asked Fluttershy "But how does they went to your dimension, Twilight?" "Hold on a second..." said the Wrecker as he looked to the Dark Energon "Dark Energon and Earth's technology...Of course! Megatron didn't know, but he wasn't building a Space Bridge. He was creating a...Hum..." he said before snapping his fingers "A Quantum Bridge!" "Oh! I love that name!" said Pinkie Pie "Quantum Bridge, Quantum Bridge, Quantum Bridge..." "If I can rebuild the Quantum Bridge in a way I can control it," said Wheeljack while rubbing his chin "the others shall be able to return to our Universe." “You can work on that, Jackie.” said Twilight while standing up “Me and Spike will use our own portal to get back to Ponyville.” “I want to go too.” said Sunset Shimmer “After all, I would like to see my original home once again.” “Are you sure, Sunset Shimmer?” asked Twilight with a worried face “I know that you miss Equestria, but after all this years in Earth…” “Twilight, Equestria will always be my true home and now that the Autobots are stuck in it. Don’t you think they should have the help of their closest equestrians?” “Well…” said Twilight as she rubbed her chin “Okay then, Sunset. You can come with us.” With a happy squeal, the red hair girl hugged Twilight before running towards the exit. The purple smiled a little. She know that Sunset always wished to return to Equestria, but she there was one thing that made her stay: her friends. After she had become a good person, Sunset Shimmer started to get closer and closer to the Rainbooms, which could say the same thing to them. Twilight and Spike said goodbye to the other girls as they walked towards the exit as well, ready to their rescue mission. Equestria, Everfree Forest… Barricade slowly sat down next to Knockout as they rested after pulling Snow Cat, who was awake, all the way from Ponyville after their defeat against the Autobots and their new friends. Megatron growled as he fired a beam from his horn that instantly burned down a tree into ashes. After he arrived to Equestria, fate was trying to beat him down: he was stuck in that world, forced to retreat when Optimus Prime and the Autobots were almost defeated and his second-in-command was dead. For some reason, something was telling that Starscream was long gone to the Allspark, leaving just four Decepticons against five Autobots. “I can’t believe that Starscream is offline.” said Knockout “I’m going to miss his dumb ideas.” “That’s not important now, Knockout!” growled Megatron “His dead was his fault, not mine or yours. The real problem here is that we will probably be hunted by the creatures of this planet sooner or later.” “Then we need to find some place to be our HQ,” said Barricade “but we don’t know this place very well like Cybertron or Earth.” “What should we do, Master?” asked Snow Cat as he rubbed the back of his head. Megatron slowly stared to the ground. For the first time, he didn’t know what to do as well. The Decepticons were trapped in another world and, with Starscream gone for good, they were outnumbered against the Autobots, who probably have joined forces with the ponies of Equestria to defeat them. A crisis fell upon them and they didn’t know how long would they avoid their end. Suddenly, out of nowhere, an evil chuckle was heard from the bushes. Taking their defense positions, the Decepticons glared to the bushes as a horrible dark female black equine with a blue mane and a horn walked out of them. Another chuckle was given by the creature. “Maybe I can help you, my friends.” she said “My name’s Queen Chrysalis and I’m at your service.” Optimus slowly opened his eyes and started to look around. For what the place looks like, it was in a bed in some kind of hospital similar to the ones on Earth. Through the window next to him, he could see that he wasn’t in Ponyville anymore, but in a city that reminded him the streets of Iacon during the Golden Age of Cybertron. In that moment, a memory stroke his mind like the hammer of Solus Prime. The Decepticons were still alive and he needed to stop them before they could do more damage to Equestria. The Autobot immediately stood up in his bed, but, before he could react, a pain stroke his chest. Growling, Optimus saw bandages around his chest with few blood in them. Suddenly, a hoof laid on his shoulder and forced him to lie down. Optimus looked to his right and saw a white female pony with pink mane and tail. In her butt was a red cross and in her head was a white beret with the same insignia, showing that she was a nurse. “The village…” said Optimus. “Take it easy, big boy.” she said “My name is Nurse Redheart and you’re in Canterlot Hospital. You were fatally wounded in combat in Ponyville, but luckily the Princesses have arrived in time to save you and your pals from those bad guys.” “My Autobots…” said Optimus while rubbing his head “Where are they?” “Your ‘Autobots’ are fine, sir.” she said while walking towards the door “In fact, they are wanting just outside of the room with that kid who helped you. I’m going to allow them to see you.” Grabbing the knob, Redheart opened the door, making four ponies to fall in the ground, each one on top of the other. Quick as a lightning, the Autobots stood up and runned next to Optimus, asking many questions about his state. The Autobot leader smiled. They were like small sparklings worried with their parents. From the door entered Peter Pony Parker without his costume, smiling just like the others. He was wearing a bandage as well around his belly, courtesy of Megatron's wrath. "Looks like you're worst than me, pal." he chuckled. "Trust me, kid," said Hound "he has been in worst situations. There was that time-" Before Hound could continued his story, a flash of light temporarily blinded everypony in the room. Slowly, Peter opened his eyes and gasped as time slowed down to him. In front of him was beautiful young purple alicorn with her wings spread and her magnificent dark blue hair moving like the wind. With a sudden star, his heart started to beat very, very, very hard, threatening to tear his chest apart. Parker has heard of Princess Twilight Sparkle before during his training, but he never thought she would be the most beautiful pony that he ever saw in his life. Next to Twilight was a orange unicorn with red and yellow mane and his insignia was a sun with the same colors of her mane. It was Sunset Shimmer. Next to them were Celestia and Luna, the Princesses of the Sun and Moon, and Spike. Another smile appeared in Optimus’ face. He didn’t know how, but they were in Equestria. Running towards him, both Sunset and Twilight hugged the Autobot with all their strength, causing a little pain to him, who ignored it. “You came all the way from Earth just for us?” asked Optimus. “Of course we did!” said Twilight “We’re your friends, remember?” “After Princess Celestia told us about your situation,” said Sunset “we immediately used the portal to come to Equestria.” A feeling of being watched stroke Twilight, making her to turn around and see Flash staring at her, making her blush. Their cheeks were completely red while sweat were dripping from his forehead. He never talked to a pony like Twilight, not even with a normal one. A feeling of being watched stroke Twilight, making her to turn around and see Peter Parker staring at her, making him blush. His cheeks were completely red and dripping sweat were dripping from his forehead. He never talked to a pony like Twilight, not even with a normal one. "And you are…?" asked Twilight with a smile. "I...I'm...P-P-Peter Pony...P-Parker…" said Peter. "Nice to meet you, Peter." she said "Thanks for helping the Autobots." "S-Sure...No problem…" said Peter. “With you, girls, here with us and your friends,” said Bumblebee while hugging Twilight and Sunset “the Cons are done for good.” The Autobots started to celebrate. Without Starscream, the Decepticons were outnumbered and one step closer to defeat and, with that, the civil war between the two factions would be over and peace would return to the Human Dimension. As everypony leaved the room, following the Redheart’s orders to let Optimus rest, a voice whispered into both Celestia and Luna’s ears. It was time to Twilight knew her new destiny. “Twilight,” said Celestia, drawing Twilight’s attention “there’s somepony you must know. He insist you to talk with you.” “Really?” asked Twilight “But who is he?” “We can’t tell his name yet,” said Luna “but he’s waiting for you in our castle.” Twilight rose up her eyebrow. Why was Princesses Celestia and Luna were being so much mysterious now? Without wasting more time asking question, the Princess of Friendship charged her horn and teleported herself towards the Canterlot Castle. A purple flash appeared in the middle of the throne room, revealing to be none other than Princess Twilight Sparkle. Looking around, the purple Alicorn tried to find the unknown pony that wanted to talk with her urgently. Twilight growled. Nopony was there. “I hope this isn’t a prank or I---” said Twilight. “I've been waiting for you, Twilight Sparkle.” said a old voice behind her. Twilight released a high pitched squeal. Turning around, the Alicorn gasped when she saw the last thing in Equestria. Standing in front of her was a small purple robot with a cape and a white metalic bear. She couldn’t tell if it was Autobot or Decepticon, but one thing was sure: a real Transformer was there, in Equestria. How could that be possible? “Who...Who are you?” asked Twilight. “Do not fear me, young Princess.” said the Transformer “My name is Alpha Trion…”
